📝Compare for and to :

✅For+noun
Example:
🔹We stopped for petrol.
🔹i had to run for the bus.

✅To+verb
Example:
🔹We stopped to get petrol.
🔹I had to run to catch the bus.

You can say ‘for’ somebody to do something:
🔹There were not any chairs for us to sit on,so we sat on the floor.

You can use for -ing or to...... to talk about the general purpose of something,or what it is generally used for:

🔹I use this brush for washing the dishes. or ...... to wash the dishes.

But we don’t use for -ing to say why somebody does something:

🔹I went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. ( not for washing )

You can use what ..... for ? To ask about purpose:

🔹What is this switch for ?
🔹What did you do that for ?

✅ Leaving out to-infinitives

📗 We can use "to" instead of a clause beginning with to-infinitive when it's clear from the context what we are talking about.
🧩Example:
I want to come with you. but i won't be able to. ( instead of i won't be able to come with you.)
🧩Example:
It might have been better if Rosa had asked for my help, but she chose not to. ( instead of she chose not to ask for my help)
📕 However when we use "be" in a sentence, we need to repeat the to-infinitive form of be in the next sentence.
🧩Example:
Simon was frightened- or maybe he just pretended to be. ( not...... just pretended to)

🤔 What is an INFINITIVE❓
📌 To + verb

1️⃣ An infinitive is the "to" form of the verb. The infinitive form of "learn" is "to learn." You can also use an infinitive as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence.
✍ Example:
🗣️ To learn is important. subject of sentence.
🗣️ The most important thing is to learn. complement of sentence.

2⃣ Infinitives can be made negative by adding "not."
✍ Example:
🗣️ I decided not to go.
🗣️ The most important thing is not to give up.

3⃣ Some verbs are followed by infinitives.
✍ Example:
🗣️ She wants to go to a movie.
🗣️ Mary needs to talk about her problems.
